Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano make their long-awaited return to MMA, for a historic event. The women’s MMA pioneers will clash in the main event of the first-ever MMA card to stream live on Netflix.

Rousey and Carano have been open that they would only come out of retirement if they were fighting each other. After the UFC passed on the fight, MVP stepped up and booked it to headline its first foray into MMA. ‘Rowdy’ has been vocal since then and taken aim at the promotion, particularly matchmaker Hunter Campbell.
Rousey last fought at UFC 207 in 2016, losing a 1st round TKO to Amanda Nunes. Carano, meanwhile, last competed in 2009, when she lost a TKO to Cris Cyborg in a Strikeforce women’s featherweight title fight.
Rousey and Carano have found success in other ventures, including Hollywood, having both appeared in the Fast & Furious franchise. While both have not fought in years, Rousey enters as the betting favorite to defeat Carano.
